MySpace is Rockin’ for Darfur

I’ll admit — sometimes I get a little lost in the wide world of music blogging and I pay a lot more attention to Tenacious D tour dates and a lot less attention to national (and international) issues…

There’s a humanitarian crisis going on right now outside our little US comfort zone. The Darfur region of the Sudan is in the midst of a genocidal war between the Janjaweed military group and the smaller tribes that they’re hoping to irradicate, and MySpace (of all companies) is stepping up and trying to do something about it.

If you can make it to any of these shows, you’re doing your part to support a good cause. I’m always happy when I see announcements like this — people trying to help people — as I think the world could always use a little more give and a lot less take…
